New studio goes to Kickstarter, Grand Theft Auto cost A LOT and a PlayStation video.

Comprised of an impressive list of industry veterans, the newly formed Hinterland Games will bring its first project, the first person sandbox survival game The Long Dark, to Kickstarter on September 16. This is absolutely one to watch. You can see a bit more of what it’s all about at their website.

Grand Theft Auto V is reported to have cost £170 million (or $265 million) which is nuts really. All’s well though, as it’s projected to rake in somewhere in the neighborhood of £1 billion in its first year of release. Bonkers. (The Scotsman)
